Gyujoon Hwang

Gyujoon Hwang, PhD, is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Medicine at the Medical College of Wisconsin. His research focuses on applying machine learning and neuroimaging techniques to uncover mechanisms underlying brain disorders, with a particular emphasis on Alzheimer's disease, neurodegeneration, and mental health conditions like prolonged grief disorder. He investigates genetic and environmental factors influencing brain structure and function, and develops AI-driven models to stratify disease heterogeneity and identify biomarkers.

Key research interests include neuroimaging endophenotypes, brain aging patterns, and the integration of multimodal data (MRI, genetics, clinical) to advance precision medicine. His work bridges computational neuroscience with clinical psychiatry, aiming to translate imaging findings into actionable insights for diagnosis and treatment.

Recent studies highlight his contributions to understanding tau-neurodegeneration mismatches in Alzheimer's, amygdala dysfunction in grief disorders, and the genetic architecture of brain aging. Collaborative efforts involve large-scale datasets and interdisciplinary teams to address complex neurobiological questions.
